[QUOTE="Paul_c, post: 449094, member: 44875"] and yet they won't give me a meter and strips on prescription to control my blood glucose levels with... :***: :thumbdown: :cry: all they gave me was a diet sheet pushing the NHS Heart-Healthy Low-Fat Eatwell Plate and a day on a DESMOND course... All my success in my control has been since I took matters into my OWN hands and got my own meter and started working out what I could get away with and still be under 6.0 two hours afterwards... It was the low carbing advice in this forum and also the advice on Jenny Ruhl's Diabetes 101 website that gave me the toolkit to control my diabetes. When I had my annual check up back in April, some 12 months after diangosis, I was lauded for my weight loss and my HbA1C but my diet was condemned as being dangerous and not a good long term diet. Doctor still wouldn't give me a meter and strips under prescription either even though it was obviously working and I knew what to do with the results. [/QUOTE]
